Morrill County, County administration district in western Nebraska, United States.
Morrill County is an administrative area in western Nebraska characterized by rolling hills and agricultural land. The North Platte River flows through its territory, shaping the natural landscape.
The county was established in 1908 after Charles Henry Morrill, president of the Lincoln Land Company, and separated from Cheyenne County through a voter referendum. This founding came from local efforts to create an independent administrative area.
The Board of Commissioners meets every Tuesday morning at the Courthouse in Bridgeport to discuss and make decisions about local matters.
The Courthouse is located in Bridgeport and serves as the center for official services and administrative matters in the area. Visitors can find information about local services and government functions there.
The population density is extremely low, with roughly one person per square kilometer spread across the area. This makes it one of Nebraska's most sparsely settled regions where the landscape and nature clearly dominate.
